One of my mags "spilled its guts" during OB Match over the weekend. Instead of getting a new stock basepad, I'm checking to see if an extended basepad will work to give the mag a capacity of 12 rounds instead of 10.

 

Has anybody here tried this?

Yes, use several on my G26 mags to take them from 10 to 12. It's a TIGHT fit getting 12 in though.

I guess your refering to taking a 10 round full size magazine and adding 2 rounds? I'd like to see the answer to that.

You can't use an extended base plate with a 10 rd magazine. That's what I'm told but have never tried it. What model GLOCK?

 

This doesn't apply to double stack subcompacts.

yes, it's a 10 rd limited cap mag for a Glock 17 or 34. The base plate for the regular capacity (17rds) is the same as the ones on the limited capacity (10 rd) mags. From what I see inside the tube, the rails and the slimmer springs are the ones that limit the capacity to 10.

 

I'll order an extended base pad and will see if it works. It's a $ 10 dollar experiment that promises good dividends if it works.

The curiosity just had me playing with mags. #1 I found my pinky extentions on the G26 are +0...LOL #2 It may be that the only reason that they say the extentions won't work on a single stack G17/34 mag is that you may run out of sping tension, and liability both FTF and AWB.

 

I'm very interested how you make out. Solves that 11rds in the first mag problem.

I don't know if it will work on the 10 round mag, but several companies make basepad extensions that will increase your capacity.

Just bear in mind that you can't use an extended basepad in production for USPSA.

If it does work, I'll use the mag for the range/practice.
